Stayin' Alive - Susie McKenna - Bog

Susie McKenna's debut thriller, LAST TRACKS, was described by KIRKUS REVIEWS as an "...enthralling outdoorsy tale." Deana, the snarky, determined heroine in LAST TRACKS, returns in STAYIN' ALIVE to outsmart the bad guys.

Deana and her friends head out of Washington, D.C. for a weekend of golf, cycling, visiting wineries in rural Virginia. The good times come to an abrupt end when Deana's search for an errant golf ball ends with her discovery of a dead man. Deana's friends recognize the man as a less than reputable realtor from D.C. Very quickly, it becomes clear that their lives are at risk.

Deana works with the local detective to unravel a web of motives related to greed, jealousy, and deception. Loyalty and friendship are tested as Deana and her friends use technology and unorthodox weapons to stay safe.

The lyrics to the famous Bee Gees' song "Stayin' Alive," used as a doorbell chime in their host's home, take on new meaning: "You know it's alright, it's okay. I'll live to see another day."

"I enjoyed the strong writing and the intricately thought-out puzzle of the mystery, which makes the story move along grippingly, keeping the surprises coming." Kenny Marotta, author of A HOUSE ON THE PIAZZA.
